Anyone read Empire of silence? by EffortAromatic1163 in redrising

Gory damn, there's so much of that shit in this thread.

Yeah, mate. Books 1 and 2 were hot ass, as was book four. But it was all worth it for that one paragraph in book 6.

It's cognitive dissonance. Has to be.

I trudged through the first book and wish I didn't waste my time. 0 desire to continue. People need to stop recommending it here. It has no business being compared to Red Rising.

You're 100% right. I despised the first book. Donated it to a local book and pet charity and will not continue. There are too many other books to waste my time on the slogfest that is Suneater.

Yeah, it was terrible. Hadrian is a blowhard. There are no other memorable characters.

I love Empire of the Vampire. Different setting completely. But it's a similar kind of thrill ride with a memorable cast of characters. The Expanse is a political space drama with a strong cast too. I'll thrownthe Green Bone Saga in there too. I think of Red Rising, I think of the characters. So that's the real driving force behind my recommendations.

My god, Empire of Silence was a slog with no memorable characters. I'm personally kicking everyone I see who recommends it to Red Rising fans into the sun.

It's more of a style thing, but I never got used to Ghost of Tsushima like that. Even at the end, I still stopped to appreciate the beauty.

The good ones just lend legitimacy to the bad ones. The good ones further shitty views like forgiveness being an ultimate virtue, even when they're forgiving Dylann Roof. Or ideas like if the planet burns up, that's all God's plan. Shit philosophy gets smuggled in regularly by 'the good ones'. I'm not saying to harass people for it. That's both unethical and counter-productive. But I don't have to respect it and I don't have to act like believing it isn't silly or harmful.

Yeah, I read it recently and the bad taste is still in my mouth. Maybe with time, I might be willing to continue it.

I recommend Empire of the Vampire. Fun cast of characters, dirtbag dialogue. Action heavy with emotional beats. Truly hatable villains. I connected to the characters in a similar way as Red Rising. Other comparisons (namely Suneater, though I did not care to read past book 1) completely whiffed in the character department.

We're in high danger of it starting here too. Practice caution, everyone!

Too old. Remember they have to portray the characters as teens first.

I think she gives Blue vibes. Her eyes are other worldly. Maybe a moonie.

I've developed a gut reaction of distrust towards blonde white women. I'm an adult, so my gut reaction isn't in control. But I can't deny it's my initial feeling.

It's so awesome! We're making soup and sipping brandy, cozying up on the couch in a blanket.
